It is indeed a great pleasure to share with you this unique journey by private jet around Africa and the Indian Ocean in 2026.
The collection of destinations on this itinerary is particularly suited to travel by private jet, as we could not accomplish this route using regularly scheduled aircraft. These are all places that we thought would appeal to those who have already traveled to Africa, as well as those who may be interested in making their first visit to the continent. We wing from one country to another, relaxed in spacious leather club seats in our custom-fitted Private Jet and delight in the service from our hand-selected attentive crew.
On this unforgettable journey we will start out in Cairo, Egypt to include a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum, which is finally opening. Afterwards we will visit several islands in the Seychelles and the remote Anjajavy Nature Reserve in Madagascar. Our journey will continue to Tarangire National Park which has some of the highest animal densities and most stunning landscapes in Tanzania, then spend the last few days relaxing at a luxurious camp at the ever loving Sabi Sands Game Reserve. Encounter unusual and endemic fauna and flora, majestic animals in their natural habitat, pristine landscapes, diverse cultures and distinctive architecture.
With a maximum of 15 travelers, we are able to stay in villas and suites in world renowned lodges and hotels. All along the way, our Lakani Tour Managers will be on hand to ensure plenty of pampering, enriching experiences, and fabulous cuisine.
This once-in-a-lifetime journey is not to be missed. Please join us.
